The cache is a 5 gallon Blue Bucket. It's a tribute to the first cache placed, a Black Bucket. As much as I wanted to partially bury this one like the original, I stayed true to the new rules and it's a very simple find. Starting off with a 25ft tape measure, a flashlight/LED, a screwdriver set, and some small misc items. Also a Geocoin to help move along.
Cache is placed just off the side of the game lands road. A round trip of 2.4 miles from parking and back. Be sure to wear your orange during hunting seasons.
This 15 for 15 Series was placed as a collaboration of MrBee&WillowTree, SuperChucklez, and 74vwBusFamily. We wanted to place a series of 15 geocaches to celebrate 15 years of geocaching. We hope you enjoy the various types of hides. From Micros to Large can be found. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEOCACHING!
On May 3, Dave Ulmer, a computer consultant, wanted to test the accuracy by hiding a navigational target in the woods. He called the idea the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" and posted it in an internet GPS users' group. The idea was simple: Hide a container out in the woods and note the coordinates with a GPS unit.
The finder would then have to locate the container with only the use of his or her GPS receiver. The rules for the finder were simple: "Take some stuff, leave some stuff."
On May 3rd he placed his own container, a black bucket, in the woods near Beavercreek, Oregon, near Portland. Along with a logbook and pencil, he left various prize items including videos, books, software, and a slingshot. He shared the waypoint of his "stash" with the online community on sci.geo.satellite-nav:
N 45° 17.460 W 122° 24.800
The Rest is History!
